The Body's Peacekeeping Force That Can Turn Against Itself

Your immune system identifies up to a billion different threats while peacefully coexisting with trillions of beneficial bacteria. It's not a blunt weapon but a sophisticated diplomat, constantly negotiating between protection and tolerance. Yet this elegance comes with profound risk. When the system misfires, it can attack your own tissues with the same precision it uses to fight infections-affecting 50 million Americans through autoimmune diseases, 75% of them women. Or it might stand down entirely, allowing cancer cells to multiply unchecked. These aren't rare malfunctions but inherent vulnerabilities in our most vital defense system. Through four remarkable patient stories, we discover how our bodies maintain this precarious balance between self-destruction and survival, revealing why understanding immunity matters more than ever in an age of emerging diseases and medical breakthroughs.
